Happy Wednesday everybody!! Sooo excited to share this recipe today with y’all. Why? well, for several reasons. The first being that this is a crockpot cake recipe, which to me is a great way for not so experienced bakers to get a taste of baking a cake.
Second, this is chock full of all things chocolate and peanut butter (double yum!) and third, this is such an easy recipe, and it turned out absolutely perfect! I don’t know if I have mentioned my absolute love of chocolate and peanut butter together before but there you go, I love it, and there is always at least one Reese’s peanut butter cup in my world on my cheat days, always…
So in this cake you have this easy peanut butter cake swirled with a peanut butter/chocolate cake mixture, then holy moly it’s topped off with a wonderful and gooey peanut butter/chocolate topping and of course Reese’s peanut butter cups thrown in. If you love peanut butter and chocolate together as much I do, you’re gonna go nuts for this recipe.
The cake turned out perfectly moist (yikes, that word again) and the perfect blend of peanut butter and chocolate flavors. Y’all, serve this warm with the decadent topping and a scoop or two of ice cream and you will be in dessert heaven, for reals. I hope you have a wonderful day, you get to enjoy this wonderful dessert soon and thank you so much for stopping by!
